International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. Local 157 (Detroit, Mich.)
Variant namesLocal 157 is the tool and die local servicing a number of companies in western Detroit, Michigan and the surrounding area. In 1933 the Mechanics Educational Society of America was formed and primarily represented tool and die makers in the automobile shops. When the CIO was formed, it tried to draw members away from MESA. This culminated with Local 157 receiving a charter into the UAW-CIO in 1936.
